Well, Nova Scotia has a low employment rate compared to Ontario, Alberta, and Saskatchewan. The fishing industry is the reason the province still exists, although there are some processed-foods industry in the province. Most young people are moving out of the province for better employment opportunities and thus the province is becoming a province of retired people. When my co-worker went back to NS for a family funeral, one of his nephew told him that he went to their nearest employment office there and the place was full of posters about working in Alberta oil sands. That pretty much sums up the employment opportunities in NS.
Aside from limited employment opportunities, I heard high taxes, high utility costs, and bad business landscape.
I know Canada is in need of nurses and doctors but most people who are in the process of moving to Canada fails to know that they have to go back to school here for an upgrade and take license exam in order to work on their intended field. If I have to give advise for anyone who'd move to Canada and work in the health-care sector: I would suggest to move to Ontario, Alberta, and Saskatchewan unless you got a significant pocket money to spend on upgrade education in NS like in Dalhousie or Acadia. But in reality most immigrants doesn't have that luxury. Most of them have to take part-time jobs to support their family and school at the same time. But in NS, it would be implausible to find one especially for a recently-arrived immigrants. Move to another province like in Ontario, there's a lot of respected universities and colleges here and employment too. I don't know why Filipinos are looking on moving to NS, but if you really want to work there, moving there is easy once your school is done, passed the province license exam and got a job. That's my 2 cents.
